Ah, the oddities of RIFTS

I can't really give a fuck about Gunwankery. I never so much as look at those stats in the book. I only care about damage, payload, range; in that order.

Fine:

Damage: Advantage Pistol, clearly

Payload: Advantage Railgun, marginally

Range: Advantage Railgun, by a clear mile

So if you are willing to ignore such minor technical details as a weight difference that can be written in scientific notation without sarcasm, and a little bit of, say, rules, dictating which characters can qualify to USE one gun over another.. then there is no real difference. But that would be gunwankery.

The idea of sniping with a railgun on full auto is deliciously funny to me.

Though admittingly, pinging someone (SDC) with a single shot would be entirely valid.
